Why is it important?
It has been seen that many times people donate their organs but their family members remain unaware of their wish. In such cases, when a person dies in a hospital, the hospital administration can use the Aadhaar card to determine whether the deceased had registered as an organ donor or not. If the person had previously filled out an organ donation form, it means that their wishes can be respected even after they pass away. This is important because many times, after a person's death, family members may be reluctant to give consent for organ donation.
